The variation in the HA/fulvic acid and the humification index confirmed these results. Therefore, clay amendment is beneficial for reducing GHG emissions, promoting humification and aromatization during pig manure composting.The Guanzhong basin is a part of the three top priority regions in China's blue sky action as of 2019. Understanding the chemical composition, sources, and atmospheric process of aerosol in this region is therefore imperative for improving air quality. In this study, we present, for the first time, the seasonal variations of organic aerosol (OA) in Xi'an, the largest city in the Guanzhong basin. Biomass burning OA (BBOA) and oxidized OA (OOA) contributed >50% of OA in both autumn and winter. The average concentrations of BBOA in autumn (14.8 ± 5.1 μg m-3) and winter (11.6 ± 6.8 μg m-3) were similar. The fractional contribution of BBOA to total OA, however, decreased from 31.9% in autumn to 15.3% in winter, because of enhanced contributions from other sources in winter. The OOA fraction in OA increased largely from 20.9% in autumn to 34.9% in winter, likely due to enhanced emissions of precursors and stagnant meteorological conditions which facilitate the accumulation and secondary formation. A large increase in OOA concentration was observed during polluted days, by a factor of ~4 in autumn and ~6 in winter compared to clean days. In both seasons, OOA formation was most likely dominated by photochemical oxidation when aerosol liquid water content was less then 30 μg m-3 or by aqueous-phase processes when Ox was less then 35 ppb. A higher concentration of BBOA was observed for air masses circulated within the Guanzhong basin (16.5-18.1 μg m-3), compared to air masses from Northwest and West (10.9-14.5 μg m-3). Furthermore, compared with OA fraction in non-refractory PM1 in other regions of China, BBOA (17-19%) and coal combustion OA (10-20%) were major emission sources in the Guanzhong Basin and the BTH region, respectively, whereas OOA (10-34%) was an important source in all studied regions.In context of fragile geological conditions and rapid urbanization, element exposure via dietary (food, water) and non-dietary (dust, soil) routes into human population at different land use settings is a major concern in the Indus floodplains (FPs) of Pakistan. In current study, several important trace elements including arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) were analyzed in the paired human urine, food, water and dust samples collected from main FPs of Pakistan. Daily intake estimation and regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationships between internal exposure, exposure routes of studied trace elements and different land use settings. High concentrations of urinary As, Cr, Cu, Mn, and Cd were detected in the general male population of the studied floodplains (FPs). Moreover, the levels (μg/L) of urinary As increased gradually from FP1 (12.8), FP2 (18), FP3 (61) to FP4 (71). Regression analysis showed that As contaminated water was correlated with elevated urinary As concentrations in FP3 and FP4, and water Cr and Mn was significantly associated with urinary Cr and Mn concentrations in FP2. Moreover, the associations of food Mn and urinary Mn were found in FP1. Over all, cumulative estimated daily intake (EDI) values from water, dust and food from all the flood plains showed that Mn had the highest values (6.6, 9.2, 14.4 μg/kg/day) followed by water As (1.98 μg/kg/day), dust Cu (1.5 μg/kg/day) and Pb (1.7 μg/kg/day). Studied floodplains were moderately to highly polluted in terms of studied trace elements (As, Cr, Cu, Mn, and Cd) contamination especially in FP3 and FP4. The results will contribute to improve the knowledge and information on current exposure of Pakistani male adults to the different contaminants.An international sampling campaign was carried out to comprehensively investigate the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the marine sediments from the European Baltic and North Seas, Chinese Bohai and Yellow Seas. The concentrations of ∑18PAHs in the samples from these four seas were in the range of 0.91-5361 ng/g dry weight (dw), 0.46-227 ng/g dw, 25.0-308 ng/g dw and 4.3-659 ng/g dw, respectively. 4-rings PAHs, e.g., fluoranthene, pyrene and benzo(b)fluoranthene, were commonly the dominant compounds in all the samples. The PAH sources were identified via composition patterns, diagnostic ratios, principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF). Coal combustion, vehicular emission, coke plant and petroleum residue were apportioned as the main sources in these marine sediments. However, through PMF modeling, different contributions of these sources were quantified to the deposited PAHs in the seas, suggesting distinct anthropogenic impacts on the adjacent marine system. It is note-worthy that biomass combustion may not be the main source of PAHs in the majority of sediments from these seas. This was evidenced by the ratios of naphthalene against its methylated derivatives (i.e. 1-,2-methylnaphthalenes) other than the composition pattern in the samples, of which the approach is in prospect of developing in future studies.Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled with iron reduction is termed as Feammox, and is a new nitrogen removal process. However, there is a paucity of studies on the response of nutrient additions on Feammox process in farmland ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the shifts of Feammox and iron-reducers under nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) applications via isotopic tracing and high-throughput sequencing technology. In the isotopic tracing experiment, Feammox rates was significantly greater in the N and/or P applications soil (0.184-0.239 μg N g-1 day-1) than in the no fertilizer soil (0.172 μg N g-1 day-1). The results indicated that N and P applications could favor the Feammox reaction. Molecular analysis showed that five predominant iron-reducing bacteria, including Geobacter, Anaeromyxobacter, Pseudomonas, Thiobacillus and Bacillus, were detected. Apamin cost Their abundance in the soil with no fertilizer, N, P and N combined with P was 0.93%, 1.11%-1.71%, 0.99%, and 1.40%-1.75%, respectively. This implied that iron-reducing bacteria can be stimulated under N and P applications.
